Amrouche case: FKF to seek help from government to pay Sh108m fine – Mwendwa

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has revealed they will ask the Kenyan government to help them pay former Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche Sh108 million in costs and damages for wrongful dismissal.

On Thursday, the Belgian coach, who was sacked by the then FKF president Sam Nyamweya in 2014 after a disappointing defeat to Lesotho in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, won a case he had filed against the federation.

The current Burundi coach had called on Fifa when he was fired and was awarded Sh60million. However, the 51-year-old was not satisfied and moved to lodge an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) in Lausanne, asking for more money.
